    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    So I can get to the metal latch for the bird door. I put that inside because sub-freezing temps, snow, ice, and metal are COLD. I also have the bucket of pellets to take inside, so leaving it unlatched until that's done makes sense. I've also learned to NOT open the big door and head right in...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    She rode my hand down far enough to be caught (I have the scratches from the thorns) and moved into the coop with her hatchmates. I'm going to do some tree trimming today so I can get in to her more easily in future.

    She's headed towards letting go. Knowing she'll attack, act like she's Momma Hen, Evil Ol' Bat. Tame babies when she's done. Otherwise hands off.

    Not while mama is still mothering the chicks. That's a recipe for mama attacking the "hooman servant"

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    If she's still mothering them, my advice is wait until she's done. If the others are starting to discipline, the time is coming. She may wean them off, or she may go cold turkey. Currently. Sounds as if she's the helicopter mom, "my precious baby would NEVER do something so heinous as steal! How...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Too young for more than a moult (Matilda did that too), and with the golden breast feathers, I think it's more one of the juvenile moults. I went back for another look....twice....because of the tail....and kept eyeing Matilda for it when she was sporting it.

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    I had 3 broodies this summer. None had been broody before, and all were at the same time. I hatched chicks in the incubator (trying to time it for the nieces to watch, hatched early) and tucked babies under the broodies. The chicks shared the mothers (who didn't share nests), and 1 by 1 the...

    The pouring forth is an every morning....unless it's still half dark when I have to open it. Then it's 1......4 minutes later another.....then 3 more....then the rush. I swear they're saying "GO AWAY! I'M NOT READY TO GET OUT OF BED! FINE! I'M UP! DON'T EAT ALL THE SUNFLOWER SEEDS!" The ones in...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Good for them. My crew use the woodpile for daylight storms. They like being able to watch, I think. Close to bedtime, they retreat to the coop, though.

    Screen on dark mode doesn't have that issue. Black background, white/tan letters. Dont remember how I got that set up, though. Maybe @notabitail can help figure that out...? Unless I'm missing something somewhere. This is what I see Being as it's Caturday, more cat pics for tax
